Omeprazole can be used to prevent chemotherapy-induced gastritis. It effectively protects the gastric lining by reducing stomach acid production.
Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is often prescribed to chemotherapy patients to prevent gastritis by decreasing gastric acid secretion, thus safeguarding the gastric lining.
